YAGT: anyone ever had a succesful long distance relationship

[radioouman]

Am doing it right now, and it is working out great. The amount of anticipation and excitement that builds up before you see each other is wonderful. We are 600 miles away. I haven't seen her since last summer.

I've had great long distance relationships. Three didn't work out long term, but it wasn't the distance that was the factor; the fourth one I married. At the times, I was in LA and the girls were in SF, Phoenix, Minneapolis, and Mexico City. I will say one thing though, it costs more money to have long distance relationships, at least it did for me. And keep in mind that these relationships weren't exclusive, I was still seeing girls closer to home at the same time. If it had to be exclusive, I don't think it would have worked.

it was short term long distance

my gf and i go to school at the university of michigan but she goes home to taiwan in the summer every so often. it was annoying but you get through it. now we're probably going to different schools for grad school so that'll be real tough.

Exactly.... I will see her next month and neither of us can wait!
And you're right, sometimes we do get into little arguments about not contacting each other... If I don't hear from her for a day or two I wonder what's going on... it's all worth it though!

I got the phone plan with free long distance 24/7 like $56 a month for the house phone, flat rate, unlimited anywhere anytime for any amount of time, I love it!

lucky, seeing her next month...I don't get to fly out till spring break in March

GoodDad...if she's worth it and you think it'll work out, go for it. we started dating last April, got engaged in July, and are getting married this May. part of the reason for our long-distance relationship is financial reasons...we started adding things up and realized how dang expensive it is to start out. she had a scholarship to a school on the other side of the country that ended this year, so we decided to use that and both work while we attended college. we fly out to visit each other every month or two. it's hard, but I feel a lot more comfortable this way because then we can actually afford two (working) cars, a nice apartment, insurance, etc. no debt hanging over our heads plus lots of time to plan the wedding and everything we need to live.

long-distance relationships can really make or break a relationship too. if the other person is too immature and isn't really committed, you'll probably know it within a couple weeks because they'll dump you and find somebody closer. if they are committed and are going to stay true and faithful, they'll work at it. you really get a chance to know each other long-distance, too, because you have to communicate through letters, emails, packages, and phone conversations. if you're in-person its easier to blow time or get physical and if you're planning on spending a long time with the person (like marriage) its sometimes hard to get past those things and figure out what kind of person they really are. so in a way, they're good, but they are difficult. but if the person is worth it, they're worth it

My 2 cents comment. Both long distance has it's own good and bad benefits. Too long to keep you warm at night, but the other person don't know all the bad things that you have.

But for short distance, sometime too close for comfert. But you don't have to grow a long penis.

Oh, I almost forgot. I have a cousin who's been dating a girl from Scandinavia the last two years. They met when she was over her on an exchange program. He's gone to visit her once and she's come over to visit once since then. I believe they are still planning on getting married.
